There are few occasions on which I find that I am in agreement with an editorial of the Wall Street Journal' Editorial Board. This morning's editorial is, however, one of those occasions. The Republican House Members and Senators persisting in challenges to the votes of some states is worse than political theater or pandering to base. It affirms and condones conduct which attacks the integrity of the national process, dismisses the Constitution. The rioters and their abettors in Congress should be condemned, and the rioters prosecuted. That members of Congress continued with the challenges is evidence that Trump's hold over the Republican Party remains strong, and that it will continue after he leaves office. The tests will come when these folks stand for election next. I think these people, like the Tea Party wing as a whole, will continue to control the Republican Party.
